Maybe you’ve hated your nose all your life, or maybe you just started noticing your hatred for it recently. Whatever the case may be, you’re probably here right now because you wish to change it a little, tweak it, if you will. The good news is that you can with our help at Gabay & Gottlieb Cosmetic Surgery Center. With two of the top cosmetic surgeons in Philadelphia, PA, you can have the nose of your dreams in no time. In this blog, we’re going to discuss how you can tell if rhinoplasty (a nose job) would be right for you.

Are you a good candidate?

Candidates for rhinoplasty come from all ages and backgrounds. If you’re in good health and desire to have your nose reshaped, then you will most likely be a good candidate for this procedure. Here at Gabay & Gottlieb Cosmetic Surgery, nasal examinations and medical histories are performed and checked at the initial complimentary consultation. From there, we’ll determine the best way for you to proceed.

How should you prepare for the surgery?

After the consultation and we decide how to proceed with your surgery, we will provide you with a list of instructions before you undergo the procedure. Generally, eating and drinking are not allowed after midnight on the evening before rhinoplasty is performed. Once you speak with Dr. Gabay or Dr. Gottlieb, you will receive more information.

How long can you expect to be out of work?

At Gabay & Gottlieb Cosmetic Surgery Center, the rhinoplasty procedure will typically last an hour in duration. When you’re recovering from it, the initial postoperative surgical dressing involves a small cast over your nose for one week. Most people can expect to be out of work for about one to two weeks. You should not begin to exercise again for at least three to four weeks.

If you’re still wondering whether you’d make a good candidate for rhinoplasty, please give us a call! We’ll schedule an initial consultation with one of our doctors to help you decide. To learn more about our Philadelphia plastic surgery center, contact us at 215-501-7565.

Maybe you’ve been considering it for awhile now, or maybe you knew right away – you want to receive breast augmentation. Whether you’re 99% sure or not, you probably have questions about the procedure, lots of them in fact. Well, you’ve come to the right place. Here at Gabay & Gottlieb Cosmetic Surgery, we offer breast augmentation in Bucks County, PA, and other local areas, to women who are in relatively good health, and we have the answers to all of your questions. In this blog, we’ve chosen some of the most frequently asked questions about breast augmentation. Here they are:

Q. Would I be the right candidate?

A. The most important prerequisite for breast augmentation is to be in overall good health. At Gabay & Gottlieb Cosmetic Surgery, we’ll provide you with an initial complimentary consultation to determine your health and whether or not this would be the right procedure for you.

Q. Will breast augmentation give me visible scars?

A. The skin of the breast area, including the nipple and areola, supports excellent healing and minimal scarring. At Gabay & Gottlieb Cosmetic Surgery, we offer two locations for incision. They include the periareolar and inframammary crease. As far as scar invisibility is concerned, both are excellent options.

Q. How long will I be out of work?

A. You should expect to be out of work for one full week following the breast augmentation procedure. Since this surgery is performed under general anesthesia, patients may feel worn out for the next few days.

Q. How long will it be until I can return to the gym?

A. After breast augmentation, we suggest waiting one month until you begin to work your chest muscles again. However, you can exercise your leg muscles and abdomen two weeks after the surgery.
